The Experience
Before You Go
Morning departures for calm seas
Book an early slot—mornings usually have lighter winds and clearer water for snorkelling.
Use reef‑safe sunscreen
Protect marine life and avoid irritating your skin—choose a non‑oxybenzone formula.
Secure loose items
Wind off the bow can take hats and lightweight gear—use dry bags or clipped straps.
Bring a towel and light layers
Even short rides can be cool with the breeze; a thin windbreaker and towel are useful for post‑swim chills.

Conservation Note
Parts of this coast fall near protected marine zones; avoid anchoring on seagrass, do not touch or remove marine life, and use reef‑safe products.
Olbia grew as an ancient maritime hub—Phoenician and Roman remains still appear inland—serving coastal trade that shaped local shepherding and winemaking traditions.
